    The million dollar question is what 10 starts last year mean this year.
  2. Linus
    No way it is May. As much as people want to criticize the Twins, no way does he have that role.
  3. Linus
    He's starting to get a few hits so he's your starter.
  4. Linus
    I think Duffys two pitch mix plays better in the pen. People are assuming a lot from 10 starts last year.
  5. Linus
    Cut Tonkin and put Pressly in the pen. If I had to make a bold prediction it would be Duffy ends up in the pen eventually.

    I can't wait for the board to explode when my favorite chucker is named as the 5th starter. That's right Ricky Nolasco.
  7. Linus
    Actually I hope he starts hitting so he can start for the Twins. He's already better defensively
  8. Linus
    Obviously it was the wrong move - Nobody is claiming that it wasnt. What I am pointing out is that it wasn't so obvious at the time.

    I am tired of Big Papi. How can a guy who has had everything hold a grudge for so long? Plus he conveniently forgets that he sat unsigned for a month and when he signed with Boston it was for far less than he would have been due in arbitration. Plenty of teams agreed with the Twins assessment.
  10. Linus
    I will be happy that our #5 starter is a formerly highly sought after free agent and not Andrew Albers or Cole DeVries.
  11. Linus
    Big Papi is hardly the objective source of Twins info. I think we can allow Sano to try and make the transition before we throw the last spade of dirt on the box.
  12. Linus
    How many times will we miss the cutoff man?
  13. Linus
    This. TR believes strongly in being a stand up guy. This was not a stand up move and I'm sure Ryan doesn't appreciate it. Ricky would be a bad poker player - he has no cards and is going all in.
  14. Linus
    My prediction is that Ricky out pitches Duffy this spring and Duffy ends up in the pen or starting at AAA.
  15. Linus
    Ironically the fastest way to get him out of town with the least damage would be to start him hope he pitches well and trade him in June.
  16. Linus
    I disagree that Duffy is a lock. People are giving way to much credit to a relatively short stretch of success last year. Milone was arguably the Twins best pitcher last year. The battle is between Nolasco and Duffy
  17. Linus
    TR places so much emphasis on make up that I am surprised that they apparently missed that with Ricky. He really sticks out because the Twins seem to have a genuinely good clubhouse.
  18. Linus
    I'm actually one of the few posters advocating to keep an open mind with Ricky. That perhaps he can get it together and help the Twins. Boy he makes it hard to keep an open mind about him. What a jackass.
  19. Linus
    Carlos Quentin is a long shot flier acquisition. The Twins are not counting on him for anything nor should they.
  20. Linus
    If there is cluster luck shouldn't there be cluster "unluck" that might offset it. How many times did the Twins get a bunch of hits but due to bad luck not score many runs?
  21. Linus
    Well since they have 7 guys to choose from for starters I think it is pretty clear the Twins are not counting on any one guy. Whoever makes it will earn it.
  22. Linus
    Not at all. There are plenty of spring training at bats for everyone. Plus anybody on the 40 man that isn't in contention (Kepler abw) is going to be sent to minor league camp ASAP so they don't risk injury and MLB service time on the MLB DL. This whole thing is a non story; most clubs do it just to see if they catch lighting in a bottle not because they are planning on them.
  23. Linus
    It's all good. By the end of the year we could have a combo of Rosario Buxton Kepler and Arcia. This would be really exciting and bodes well for the future.
  24. Linus
    I think a bigger concern is the league adjusting to it. He still has a lot to prove IMO. Might be better suited for the pen where it would be hard for hitters to adjust seeing him only once.
  25. Linus
    This is correct. Eddie does lots of things that stats don't always capture.
